In the 21st year of Guangxu's reign, Dongshi was defeated and the Treaty of Shimonoseki was signed. The imperial court ceded Liaodong, Taiwan and Japan, and paid a compensation of 20,000 taels of silver. When the news came out, the whole country became angry, and hundreds of people with lofty ideals gathered their writings and wrote to Emperor Guangxu in the Supervisory Council, earnestly fulfilling their responsibility to defend the territory. The fate of the country was at stake, and the mountains and rivers of China were wailing. At that moment, the Chinese people, who had been shackled for thousands of years, staggered, pushing open the rusty imperial door step by step with blood, tears and humiliation. A looming and unknown new era gradually unfolds before the common people, and 40 million people across the country are struggling in this light of hope. The local ruffians suddenly turn into rich people who support Tao Zhu. Wang Xie's family is like walking on thin ice and withers away overnight. People's hearts are in danger, heresy and atrocities are endless. The Taoist heart is small, but there is no slackness in doing it. This era is exciting, but it also makes people despair; this era is full of wars and warlords are devastated. In this era, countless people have stepped forward, weeping blood every step of the way, and tearing up every word.
